Richmond friday 12 June 1863
I wrote you two days ago my dearest wife
but write a line again to supply something which I
forgot then to say. It is to ask you to request
Mr. Johnson to direct the stage driver to Ringgold
to enquire of Mr. Pollock daily for any thing for
you or for Mr. Wilmer and carry it up by the stage.
I shall, unless I can meet with a private oppor-
-unity (which I do not expect) send by Monday's [crossed out]
Tuesday's cars a bundle to Ringgold con-
-taining the unbleached cotton which you wrote for.
I wrote to you, as I have just said, two days
ago soon after getting your note & Page's letter.
I wrote to Page by same mail. Mr. Custis
arrived here yesterday; he said his daughter had
been to see L. & P. I shall send their shoes by
Mr. C. Nothing (except public matters which
you see in the papers) has occurred since I
wrote, I have not heard from Bob. I went
to see Miss Judith Carter Nelson yesterday. She
told me that all [underlined] the servants from Shelly had
gone except the carriage driver & his wife.
I have not seen Lizzie Ewell since wrote to
you- nor indeed any one except Miss J. Cart. and
Mrs. Miles Selden to whom I paid a visit last night.
Dr. Garrett went home yesterday by permission,
[P.2]
as I heard, of the Yankee commander at Wmsburg.
He carried Miss Betty Peachy with him.
I am quite well and hope that you and all the
dear ones with you are so too.
I am writing in the office and hurried, so I
must say good bye, with love and kisses for every
body & my darling Lucy Page, Yr. R.S.
-Mrs. Saunders
